Here's a sample reject message.

I can send mail out just fine from various email clients on the box like Pine or this one (Sylpheed).

It's odd that other mail delivery works fine, just rejects through the filter get rejected. I sent a test message with a known bad attachment from work and the returned message is frozen for the same reason.

In my exim/configuration file I did this:

#lookuphost:
# driver = lookuphost
# transport = remote_smtp
# ignore_target_hosts = 127.0.0.0/8

send_to_gateway:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * smtp1.sympatico.ca byname

I'm new at this, but I thought I was doing pretty good! I have vmail-sql and tpop3d all working fine for virtual domain email, so this one can't be that hard to resolve! ;-)

Thanks!
